Written - Looking for our crewmate

Hey guys, uh, what's up?

So listen, one of our crewmates has gone missing. Akira was with us on the island and Winry and I left to pick up some supplies but now we can't find him. Has anyone heard from or seen him?

I'd appreciate it if you help me with this.

Thanks.

I saw him when I arrived. I haven't seen him since.

I swear he was just here. Thanks I guess. I don't know where he could have gone.

[Winry has a cloth sack on her arm, and she's still wearing Akira's jacket, as they hadn't had a chance for her to purchase one of her own.]

I know other people have gone missing.

[...]

I wonder if he found a way home.

Was he involved in the altercation [with my brother] at the port?

No, we're about two weeks out from the port. I saw it's been burned. At least, hopefully, we can get some supplies here.

I hope so, rather than anything bad happening.

It was on the island that I last saw him, if we're speaking of the same individual.

I think we'd be in trouble, too, if he was.

[Looks around, lowering her voice.]

People seem to like us right now! If they were suspicious, or wanting to cause trouble, I think they'd be chasing us right now.

Unless he got there from here somehow. There are ways to do that. He's a werewolf, if that helps you. If not, don't worry about it too much.

What was the fire like, if you saw it?

We still can't stay here very long, I don't think. We should finish getting supplies and get out of here. You know as well as I do that soldiers cracking down isn't a good thing.

[Ed says the last part a little quieter.]

No, I guess we need to move on.

Do you think I have time to get a heavier coat?

[She's been admiring the yak-fur coats the locals are wearing.]

[Given the way he'd acted, it didn't seem like it would be anyone else.]

Yes, that sounds like the man I met.

As for the fire... it spread quickly. Some of the flames were black.

[Amaterasu, that only he or his brother could extinguish before it burnt everything around it.]

Son of a bitch!

[There's a bit of a wait before he adds more.]

Thanks. He must have left the island through our Nav.

Yeah, sure. [Ed nods.] I don't think it's that pressing, I don't see any signs of the Navy, but it probably won't be long. We should play it safe.

[Winry counts their funds.]

I think we have enough to get one for you, too, if you want one?

I can't give you any more of an idea of where he might be now, unfortunately.

I appreciate the help anyhow. Have we met before? Or spoken, I guess.

[Ed leans over her shoulder and shakes his head.]

My arms are fine. Get one for yourself and we really need to start thinking about funding this adventure.

We have not.

Let me introduced myself then. I'm Edward Elric, captain of The Panthress.

[Winry nods, money would definitely come in handy. Besides, if she had to, she could probably cut down Akira's coat for Ed. Or trade it for a coat Ed's size.]

There's not all that much call for a mechanic. And it's not like I can really bake pies on board The Panthress.

Itachi Uchiha. [Though he says it the other way around. Translators, yes?]

I am currently aboard the Sinewave.

The Sinewave? I don't know it. I don't think I've met anyone on it. How do you like it? Even though this situation is not the greatest, sailing around is okay. Feels kind of adventurous.

Maybe when the island is less burnt down, we could try and get something to make that possible.

Then let's do that!

But until then, we need to do something else. I mean, I sold some of the fish Akira got, but, maybe we could catch some more?

It serves its purpose for now.

[It's a boat. That was good enough.]

I guess. It's difficult to be away from home, but I know everyone is looking for a way back.

Yeah, it shouldn't be too hard. We can get some line, that'd be cheap right?

Line and hooks, and bait's pretty easy to get, too.

Or even a net! I've seen people catch fish with a net.

Let's see what we can get, that would help us at least.

One would think that the existence of a way here would mean that there's also a way home, yes.

Okay! [Winry's happy to do that.]

I guess that means one more trip into town, huh?

Logically speaking, but at the end of last month I became a vampire temporarily. Completely illogical.

Yeah. You can do that, I'm going to wander around and see if I can find Akira one more time.

Okay. I'll try not to be too long.

[Winry hops from The Panthress to the dock.]

Temporarily? So it was merely an odd affliction that made you hunger for blood?

No, I was completely a vampire for about a week. The sun didn't rise, it was all very strange.

The sun didn't rise? That speaks of an illusion.

It certainly didn't feel like an an illusion. Winry was a werewolf herself, and the sky was strange and red. It felt like a week or so.

Most good illusions don't.

It sounds like a tsukuyomi. You can be held days in an illusion like that while no time passes in the real world.

I'm certain the time passed here though. It was strange all around. Akira didn't change, he stayed the same. There were these ghosts that attacked us and we had to leave our ship to get away from them.

It's merely an idea. I'm still new to this place, and wouldn't put anything past it after seeing who and what it can drag in.
